Did anyone notice that Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima with his 1007bhp (at sea level) mid-engined Suzuki Sport XL7 TwinTurbo Hill Climb Special broke the 13 years old unlimited record of Rod Millen on July 21 by about 3 Seconds? The new record is 10:01:408 Minutes now, less than one and a half Seconds above the "sound barrier"… By the way, Per Eklund’s year 2000 record time of 11:21:58 Minutes with his Saab 9-3 Viggen T16 4x4 for the 'Pikes Peak Open category' is still unbroken.
Rallycross drivers who did The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) at least once:
